"Is the Catholic Church attributing those attributes and the “theosis” of man to that indwelling Spirit or to man himself?"

Nice article here I just stumbled upon:

Pope Francis on "Christians Without Jesus" (Link)

You’re correct it was good. I was rather perplexed even at the first sentence however. Why would the central leader of a religion that calls itself Christian feel the need to remind people to “never forget” that Jesus is central? “It’s not easily understood that Jesus is at the center”? Really? For him to feel compelled to make that speech is a sad, sad indictment of the Catholic Church and it’s rituals and formalities. And I would seriously take a second look at following that organization if you feel compelled to point to some speech that shows that Catholics actually worship Jesus.

Jesus should be the ONLY focus. If one has to feral out that Jesus is in there somewhere and the pope has to remind people of that there is something drastically wrong with that “church”.
